Poster Requirement
As required by the “Stop Sexual Harassment in NYC” Act, the New York City Commission on Human Rights has issued a model sexual harassment prevention poster. Employers who operate in New York City must display the poster in employee break rooms and other common areas by September 6, 2018. While employers must display the poster in both English and Spanish, the Commission has not yet issued the Spanish-language version. You can access the English poster here.
“Fact Sheet” Requirement
The New York City Commission on Human Rights also published a “fact sheet” on sexual harassment, which employers must provide to new employees upon hire. Employers can choose not to provide employees the fact sheet, but only if they include the same information in their employee handbook or other policy that they distribute to employees. NYC employers must comply with this notice requirement by September 6, 2018, and can download the English fact sheet here.
